There are incentives to choose a price within the range Amazon prefers but in fact they offer an incentive to price above a certain floor. Like anything else if you don't like their deal good luck finding a more traditional publisher. It's nice if you can get one that not only likes your work...

Now that is a smart trade if you have the political clout to avoid prosecution. His "post trade" management in avoiding prosecition was the real skill. If the SOB was a bit more conservative on his leverage he would have had a very big winner. Every last one of those bonds were "money good"...

I suspect that those that have a real ear for music and languages have a nice head start in there quest to master discretionary trading. I'm not suggesting it "makes" them superior traders but, I believe, they acquire a feel with a good deal less screen time. Unfortunately I took French One...

Brad, I'm a discretionary trader and, at the time I tried IB data, was trading off five minute charts and I found their data to be unacceptable. I believe you'll find that for your purposes it is almost or completely useless. Don't make the mistake of believing that being undercapitalized...

I can understand your disdain for public sector unions but surely you don't believe that all unions that give employees a shot to bargain collectively are despicable?

As has been alluded to Keynesian economics has never been practiced. It is real simple: As far as can be determined there is no such thing as a politician that will actually implement the side of the policy equation which calls for paying doown debt in good times so you can incur some in tmes...

I do all my testing manually so that was how I was viewing it; you're correct in that computerized allows you much more lattitude. I trade CL exclusively and it is impossible for me to even imagine that I would trade without a stop but others clearly do it -- and do it successfully -- all the...

I'm not suggesting you should limit your trading to always having a predefined profit target. On certain days -- hard trend days as one example -- that would be an expensive proposition in terms of opportunity cost. But, at the tesing stage, it is so much easier and more comprehensible not to...

The right healthcare program for the poor would do wonders for America. So many of the poor have at least one family member in bad health that the thought of losing Medicaid is impossible to entertain. We can rage on and on against their lack of initiative, bad work ethic ... etc. but to not...

Here is the key in my opinion: Don't be in a rush to get rich. If you have a PA methodology that you think can last forever risk only a small fixed percentage of your capital (well under 1% if you are well capitalized ... maybe up to 2% if the bankroll is tight) and let nature take its course...

Are you suggesting he does not need a flux capacitor? No one is impressed by even 500 years of experience if we need the Rosetta Stone to figure out WTF he is talking about. I'm not suggesting he is a bad man just not a very good wizard. And, if you set yourself up as a wizard, you better be...

Anytime I am placed in the company of Martinghoul and StartDust I have certainly been complimented.

How else could you have the confidence to risk 94% on a single trade? Only the flux capacitor model HC (high confidence) can make those trades possible.

Why not 100%? Seems to me once I took a 94% hit on a single trade my frame of mind would make it unlikely I could fight my wayback using the remaing 6%.

I'm curious as to what has happened to the customer funds of the other frozen entities. Was the money eventually split up among account holders pro rata, did legal fees eat it up? I have no dog in this fight but good luck to those that do.

While the demise of bookstores is surely a sad reality, I am much more concerned with the pressure on daily newspaper revenues. We will get the same information digitally that we now get through brick and mortar bookstores but newspapers -- as despicable as they frequently are -- are being...

You're awfully picky!

Sounds like you have a handle on what you want to do.

pinkman ... I suspect we will end up agreeing to disagree but let me tell you how radically different my take is from yours. Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and the late Jimmy Hendrix all started with the same sheet music yet they all produced vastly different interpertations of the same piece and...
